Sažetak
»Numero pondere et mensura Deus umnia condidit.«
Isaac Newton (1722)1 »But for most of us, philistine enough to accept the historically contingent nature of evolution, there is nothing specially deep about the number five.
Pianists should ponder the challenge that our motor cortexes would have been set had Bach or Scarlatti sported eight deeply and ineffably named fingers per hand«.
Jonathan Cooke (1990)2
The appearance of the number five and fivefold symmetry in Nature and their uses in several fields of human activity are presented with a special emphasis on chemistry.
